Closet Doors & Paint – One Room Challenge: Week 4
The floor drama that I told you about last week took some extra time and slowed us down a bit, but we quickly got back on track and checked two more big items off of the home office to-do list. As a reminder- here's where we left off last week... When we first moved into our house, the home office (which is actually just a basement bedroom) had bypass / sliding closet doors. Here's a picture from move-in day back in 2008 when the room was still empty. In the fall of 2019, when I was ... View the Post
{seasonal style} A Very Colorful Christmas Home Tour
Happy Holidays! If you are new here, welcome! I am thrilled to have you stop by today for my very colorful Christmas home tour. Our home is very colorful all year round, so you'll find just about every color of the rainbow in our holiday home tour. But rest assured that our red and teal living room and our orange and gray family room are in completely separate areas - different floors even. As I lead you around the house, if you find yourself wondering how all of these colorful spaces fit ... View the Post
{style inspiration} Making Marsala Modern: Learning to Love the 2015 Pantone Color of the Year
I'll admit that when I first saw Pantone's pick for the 2015 Color of the Year, I was disappointed! My style is very modern and I tend to prefer cool colors for the majority of my home, with pops of brighter colors here and there. My first reaction was that Marsala and modern JUST. DON'T. MIX! In fact, I have had a Marsala colored chair and a pair of lamps in my home office for about 10 years, and for a while now I've been wanting to redo that room and reupholster the chair ...

{diy with style} Campaign Style Desk Makeover with a Dry Erase Top
Thank you to Rust-Oleum for sponsoring this post. As always all opinions are my own. You can read my full disclosure statement here. A few months ago a neighbor posted on our neighborhood website that he was putting an oak desk in the alley - free to the first taker. I knew it would be a perfect piece to make over for my upcoming Drab to Fab feature at the Denver Home Show, so I asked my husband to run by on his lunch hour and load it in the car. I need to track that neighbor ... View the Post
{seasonal style} Pumpkin Tic Tac Toe
Today I've got a fall project that's fun for the whole family! A couple of weeks ago, I took you on a tour of our living room and showed you our kid-friendly coffee table styling that includes a tic tac toe game I purchased at Z Gallerie. As I began making plans to bring some touches of fall to our living room, I originally assumed I would put the tic tac toe board away and replace it with some kind of fall decor. But then, as I was browsing the aisles of Hobby Lobby, I came ... View the Post

{One Room Challenge} Week 1 – I’m Giving Myself a Deadline!
I work best under a deadline. I always have. I wish it weren't true, but you have to work with what you've got, so I'm giving myself a deadline and saying that Beckett's new room will be complete in six weeks. Why six weeks? Because I'm joining the One Room Challenge! If you're not familiar with the One Room Challenge (ORC), it's an awesome blogging event hosted by Linda, from Calling it Home. There are twenty talented bloggers who are headlining the event by making over an entire room ... View the Post
Front Porch Halloween Decorations
The boys are four and five now, and if I could freeze time, I would. These are such fun ages, and I love how excited they get about everything - especially each holiday! For weeks, they've been begging me to decorate for Halloween. We always have quite a bit of holiday decor inside, but this year they also requested front porch Halloween decorations as well. Last year, I decorated the porch with some fun Dia de Los Muertos finds, but the boys really wanted a traditional Halloween porch ... View the Post
{style inspiration} Interior Design Inspiration from the 2016 IKEA Catalog
Every year I eagerly sit down with my hot off the presses IKEA catalog and begin marking the pages all the items on my wish list with colorful sticky flags. But this year I got impatient waiting for the 2016 catalog to hit my mailbox, so I decide to start my browsing with the digital version instead. And even now that my paper catalog has arrived, I'm pretty hooked on the online version! When I watch tv and movies, I sometimes have a hard time focusing on the show because I'm so ... View the Post

Bookshelf Makeover Without Paint: An Ikea Hack
I think it's safe to say that I have no fear of color. Especially when it comes to decorating kids' rooms, I say, the more color the better! BUT I also have my practical side, and I'm passionate about creating kids' spaces that can grow with them {I even wrote a post with tips for designing a boy's room that grows with him}. So when I wanted to add some vibrant color to the bookshelf in my sons' new shared bedroom, I didn't want to do anything too permanent. Rather than painting the doors of ... View the Post
